Why is everyone in the world finding The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ 4-LOM except for me!? Congratulations go to JTA reader Henry M. who found this wonderful selection of 6″ figures at his local GameStop store. We have also been getting reports of this figure hitting TARGET with regularity too. Oh, and shipping notices are going out from Hasbro Toy Shop that this item arrived two-weeks earlier than expected! Nice! Good luck if you still need this bounty hunter too. If I had known that 4-LOM would be the most challenging figure of 2018 to acquire, I would have gotten him early from my source in Asia. Sigh.

Hasbro Toy Shop has FINALLY added the product page for The Black Series [Phase III]4-LOM figure. IT’S NOT IN STOCK at the moment, but you may want to keep an eye on it. You know how this works now. Special thanks to JTA reader Agustin for the tip!

Qi-ra (Corellia) is available at Hasbro Toy Shop with a release date of June 1, but this wave is already showing up at Target. JTA reader Craig picked up both Qi-ra (Corellia) and 4-LOM at his local Shawnee, Missouri Target.

It looks like Steve Evans worked in another Easter egg in The Black Series 6″ line. This time it affects 4-LOM. Instagram user kylocollector has posted proof that 4-LOM’s eyes light up (with glow in the dark technology, not batteries obviously)! How cool is this? Special thanks to JTA reader cybereye for the alert!

4-LOM is tonight’s Visual Guide update, rounding out all of the bounty hunters from the famous Executor scene. Click below for a complete look at this Sideshow Collectibles Sixth Scale figure. Make sure to also visit our full review right here.

After some digging, I was able to find some Amazon pages for some upcoming The Black Series 6″ Figures. I was also able to find the Amazon pages for the upcoming Solo 6″ figures which include 2 actual names. So without further ado, here are the pages in case you wish to add them to your lists: DJ (Canto Bight), Clone Captain Rex, 4-LOM, (and others which JTA cannot post now). Unfortunately, I couldn’t find working links to Rey (Island Journey) or Grand Moff Tarkin, but we’ll keep you updated!

Good friend and JTA reader Josh Makison has gifted me another incredible item after I drooled over the one he made for himself (as we highlighted here recently). Knowing my love for the Disney Parks 4-LOM sculpt, Josh went above and beyond and also customized a vintage Kenner Zuckuss figure for me by repainting the BAD sculpt and placing it on mock vintage Kenner card back. Hasbro – please pay close attention. You need to get this sculpt into the Hasbro line and do the same EXACT thing. It’s the most screen accurate sculpt of this character to date. We still need a TVC 4-LOM (update) and Zuckuss (first time offering) and this is the only way to do 4-LOM (vintage Zuckuss) in my opinion. Thank you!
